At Ruyton we foster the individuality of each girl in a caring and safe environment, nurturing her intellectual, physical, social and emotional qualities essential to flourish.
Powerful learning is central to the Ruyton culture, building on our strong academic reputation. We focus on advancing the learning of every girl through the engagement of intellectual curiosity, building knowledge and skills about how to learn and supporting them to be the best learners they can be and exemplary citizens. We believe in real world learning beyond the classroom, collaborating with the wider community to promote growth, discovery and sustainability.
We empower our girls to lead lives of purpose with courage, character and compassion. Through the development of values and action-focused learning they are inspired to pursue equity and justice for self and others. By embracing diversity and raising their voices our girls effect positive change and make a difference.
One Campus. Endless Opportunities.
Our Early Learning Centre, Junior School and Senior School are situated on one campus, emphasising our strength as a connected learning community and enabling many opportunities for collaboration, mentoring and role modelling. The size of Ruyton enables us to know our girls individually and support them in achieving personal best. Our strong connection with Trinity Grammar School provides unique educational opportunities for students across the two schools, particularly through our Year 11 and 12 Co-ordinate Programme.

Ruyton Girls' School recognises the importance of providing the best possible learning environment for its students and staff. The Senior School, Junior School and Early Learning Centre are linked together on the same campus, fostering a strong sense of belonging and Ruyton is a community where teachers, girls and their families work together. Ruyton has state-of-the-art learning centres, including the Library Resource Centre, the redeveloped Junior School and the Ruyton Aquatic Centre. Our new Margaret McRae Centre, housing science laboratories, new Drama areas and other flexible learning spaces for Years 7 and 8 is now open. |

Ruyton has an outstanding reputation as a forward thinking school where girls consistently achieve high academic results. As a community we recognise that an ATAR score alone does not reflect the richness of the stories of grit, determination and success behind each girl’s journey. 'We acknowledge the work and dedication of our girls', says Principal, Ms Linda Douglas, 'but also the strong support of parents and the commitment and expertise of our staff’.
Creativity, leadership, grit, global citizenship, curiosity and integrity are qualities Ruyton Girls’ develop to become capable and confident young women. |
